For those with solar scopes, hope you've been looking at the sun today. On the southern limb (top in PST as view is rotated 180 degrees), there is a prominence hearth of four relatively small bar-shaped prominences (SA) and another seemingly disconnected bar prominence (SA). Close by is a large bar-shaped prominence (SB) associated with a beautiful Quiescent hedgerow prominence. On the northern limb is a stunning large arch-shaped prominence (BB). Check it out before the sun sets!

Just took a few quick snaps and a quick-n-dirty set of processing on one of them. View is absolutely beautiful through the scope. Finer detail visible than is apparent in this shot.
